Finally, before sunset, Lin Sui moved into her own "home." It had one bedroom and one living room, measuring 49 square meters, and was fully furnished with everything she needed. Lin Sui only needed to move in. It was 200 yuan more than her budget, but she could accept that.

After signing the contract quickly, choosing the one-month deposit and one-month rent payment option, Lin Sui's account had only a little over two thousand left. After sending the agent away, Lin Sui lay on her own worn-out sofa, children clamoring outside the window. She felt a sense of peace she had never felt before, as if she had returned to her and her father's home, the home she had sold.

Feeling hungry, she stood up, put on her small bag, and prepared to buy some daily necessities. In this kind of old community, there are many basement shops. Lin Sui remembered that when she came here, she saw a small supermarket nearby.

Going down from the third floor, the sounds of cooking from various households could be heard continuously. This was the environment in which Lin Sui grew up. She smiled, feeling like a fish in water in her familiar environment.

She found the supermarket and bought some daily necessities, including a few packets of instant noodles and sausages, a small pot, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks. The owner, seeing she had just moved in, gave her a bag of pickled mustard greens, which she accepted with a smile.

After returning home, she washed the pots and cooked the first meal in her new home. She turned on the TV, put the dishes on the coffee table, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and ate while watching TV.

The old doorbell rang, and Lin Sui thought it was a neighbor coming to say hello. She pushed open the door and saw Qin Chen standing there, wearing a black shirt and holding two large shopping bags.

Lin Sui laughed, "I just told you the address and you're here? What should I do? I didn't bring your share of the meal!"

Qin Chen also smiled and said, "You won't invite me in?"

"Come in!" Lin Sui made way, then remembered that she had forgotten to buy slippers. "Just come in like this. I haven't bought you slippers yet."

"I brought my own." Qin Chen took out two pairs of slippers from the shopping bag, one blue and one pink, which were obviously a couple's style.

She put on the blue one and handed the pink one to Lin Sui.

Lin Sui also changed, and the two of them walked into the room. Lin Sui took Qin Chen on a brief tour. The house was small, so he could see it all in two glances.

Seeing Lin Sui eating instant noodles alone, Qin Chen glanced at Lin Sui sideways.

"You want to live alone and eat this?"

Lin Sui curled her lips and said, "Instant noodles are delicious. I haven't eaten them in a long time! I'll make you a pack, okay?"

Qin Chen sat on the small sofa and reached out to pick up Lin Sui's dishes and chopsticks.

"Cook another packet for yourself, and I'll eat yours." After saying that, he slurped the instant noodles and looked at the old TV series on TV.

Lin Sui shrugged. Why did she feel that Qin Chen was better adapted to this place than her?

She hummed a song and cooked another pack of instant noodles. Suddenly she burst into tears. Her tears accidentally fell into the pot and were instantly drowned. She wiped her tears.

This kind of life is what she has dreamed of since she was a child. She doesn't need a very big house, but lives in a neighborhood full of the atmosphere of life. Her husband eats while watching TV, while she is happily busy in the kitchen.

Fortunately, it’s not too late and she finally achieved it, right?

Even though the house was rented, even though her "husband" was still someone else's fiancé, and even though she was now a "married woman", it was still a realization, she told herself.

She went out with a new bowl of instant noodles. Qin Chen had already finished eating. She was still sitting on the ground. Qin Chen was sitting on the sofa next to her. While eating, she asked Qin Chen where the TV series was just now.

"Her father-in-law is quite frugal and doesn't cook meat for her, so she goes home and eats a lot of chicken wings." Qin Chen summarized it succinctly.

"Oh oh oh!" Lin Sui nodded and continued watching.

Qin Chen tilted his head and looked at Lin Sui. She had pulled her hair up into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead and fair neck. Qin Chen remembered that she always had this hairstyle in high school. After all these years, she seemed to have not changed much, still looking that innocent.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and then Lin Sui snatched it away, stood up and threw it into the kitchen sink.

"No smoking! You'd better quit smoking now. I don't like men who smoke!" Lin Sui moved smoothly and sat down cross-legged to continue eating instant noodles.

Qin Chen smiled and nodded, "It's not that easy, I'll try my best, okay?"

Lin Sui didn't even look at him, "It's necessary."

"Okay, okay, I must!"

Qin Chen felt that he and Lin Sui seemed to have finally returned to the way they were getting along five years ago. A familiar feeling finally came back. He sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and suddenly felt that this house was not so shabby.

"How's your job search going?" Qin Chen asked, looking at the back of Lin Sui's head.

"I haven't found one yet. I plan to revise my resume and submit it tomorrow." Lin Sui drank instant noodle soup, snoring like a kitten.

"Yeah." Qin Chen responded, "Do you need my help? Or, do you want to come to work in my company?" Qin Chen tried to ask politely, for he was afraid that Lin Sui would be sensitive.

"No, I'll look for it myself first. If I really don't want to, I'll go to your place. Your place is there to support me."

Lin Sui turned around, squinted her eyes and smiled at Qin Chen, with tiny beads of sweat on the wings of her nose.

So cute, Qin Chen thought.

"How about you, Fang Zhiyou, how did the conversation go?"

Qin Chen rubbed his temples. "She wants 30% of the company's shares, and we're still discussing it. I only own 40% of the shares. If I give her 30%, the company will have to change its name."

"Hahahahahahaha!" Lin Sui tilted his head back, laughing to death.

"Let's help her think of a new company name?" Lin Suidi rolled her eyes. "Oh, her name can't be separated. Your name is better. If you break it down, it will become a resounding company name!"

Qin Chen leaned his chin on his hand, looking down at Lin Sui's smiling face, and murmured, "You are still that little fool."

Lin Sui frowned, not knowing why they suddenly talked about this. What was wrong with her?

"Hemu, Hemu, Qin Chen can separate these two words, and Lin Sui can also separate them. Hemu is the name of both of us." Lin Sui looked up at Qin Chen, his eyes moist and sparkling.

"I didn't dare to think about that." Lin Sui also murmured. How could she dare to think about it.

"Lin Sui." Qin Chen stared into Lin Sui's eyes and said word by word: "I have always loved you, and it has never changed."

"Me too." Lin Sui's tears flowed down.

Qin Chen leaned forward and wiped away the tears from the corners of Lin Sui's eyes with his thumb.

Then he gently placed a kiss on Lin Sui's lips.

"Puchi." Lin Sui burst out laughing.

"What?" Qin Chen was displeased.

"I was laughing at how your mouth tasted like jasmine, even though we were eating instant noodles!"
